Harlem River Community Rowing

GETTING TO THE ROWING SITE ONCE IN THE PARK

Once you are in the park and situated next to the main park building, take the stairs on your RIGHT down into the park. Walk north along the river and down the path, pass the baseball diamonds, and head for the red shipping containers at the very end of the path. The river will be on your left as you walk.

GETTING TO THE PARK

By MetroNorth from Grand Central or 125th St:

MetroNorth to the Morris Heights stop (16 minutes out of Grand Central) is the easiest way to get to us. The train station is literally in the park, and exiting up the stairs you'll find yourself in front of the main park building.

From the 4 train to Burnside Ave.:

Exit at the Burnside Ave. station and then take either the Bx40 or Bx42 bus west to the park. It should be a very short bus ride.

If you want to walk from the subway, walk south on Jerome Ave. to W. Tremont. Take a right on W. Tremont and follow it all the way to Sedgewick, where it turns into a step-street for the last block before crossing over the Major Deegan highway and heads into the park. If the stairs are closed, take a left onto Sedgwick, a right onto Cedar, and a left onto the bridge over the Deegan. (The buses run on W. Burnside, so you could also walk over on that, south on MLK/University, pick up W. Burnside again, and take W. Tremont into the park.)

From Upper Manhattan:

Cross the Harlem River on either the University Heights/207^th Street bridge or the Washington Bridge. Walk south or north, respectively, on Sedgewick Ave or Cedar. Pick up Cedar St. Cross the Major Deegan on W. Tremont into the Park. If you take the Washington Bridge you can also pick up the Bx18 Bus.

By Car:

We are located just off the Major Deegan, south of the West Fordham Road Exit. If you are coming from the Major Deegan, get off at the West Fordham Road exit. Do not cross the river into Manhattan! From West Fordham Road, turn south onto Sedgewick Ave. Follow Sedgewick to where it intersects with Cedar and cross over the Deegan there (i.e. head toward the tall housing towers). Once you cross the Deegan, you will see a supermarket and a toll booth. Directly before the toll booth, take a right turn, go about 100 feet and you will see a roundabout and the main park building. Get a parking permit inside the building to park in the lot; be advised that permits are scarce and you are NOT guaranteed a parking space. Drive down the ramp, take a left at the bottom out into the open air parking lot. Cars may NOT drive past the lot to the boathouse area! (On-street parking and a parking garage are also available.)
